- Abstract
- Museums cannot publicly display their complete collections because there is never sufficient space in their exhibition galleries to allow this; so the greater part of their collections must be kept in storage. Thus the public are deprived of knowing the full extent of a museum's collection, which runs counter to the mission of a public museum. The current generation of museum information systems are unsuitable for public use. The best situation would be for a database to hold the stored information and for a hypermedia package to provide a public interface to the database. Describes the evolution of such a system at Loughborough University and discusses its architecture. Responses have been favourable
